Defy The Alpha(s)

Chapter 351: Purple Queen

It was two hours to the gala event, and yet the students, especially the females, were running amok as if they were already an hour late. They had to look perfect, and two hours, in their definition, was simply not enough.

Violet and the girls were in the living room going over their dresses. Just like the other students on the day Griffin had announced the gala, they too had placed their orders, and now, the night had finally come.

Daisy had gone for a sleek, midnight black satin gown with a high neckline and delicate cap sleeves. The dress hugged her figure gently before flaring into a soft mermaid silhouette that brushed the floor. The back was then opened in a tasteful teardrop cut, adding a quiet sensuality to her otherwise modest style.

Ivy had chosen a rich sapphire blue gown made of satin and tulle. The dress featured an off-the-shoulder neckline with dramatic puff sleeves and a fitted corset bodice. The skirt was voluminous, with layers of structured tulle underneath, giving her that classic ballroom drama she lives for.

Lila herself had surprised everyone by going for a pale lavender gown with a halter neckline and a crisscross back that left her shoulders and upper back bare. Threadwork in the shape of tiny butterflies scattered down the bodice and trailed onto the flowing skirt, finalized with an unexpected slit on one side.

As for Violet, she had opted for a deep emerald green satin slip dress with thin spaghetti straps, a low open back, and a thigh-high slit on one side. The dress was meant to hug her body effortlessly, giving her a confident silhouette without trying too hard.

At the moment, they were arguing makeup options with Ivy, their "honorable makeup artist," when there was a knock on their door, and the girls halted at once.

"Are you expecting anybody?" Daisy asked Violet.

"I don’t think so."

"I’ll see who’s at the door," Lila said with a tone of finality, her voice already hardening as if she were about to gut someone and not just answer it.

"I’ll go too, just in case," Ivy said, running after Lila at once.
